Every night at 10. Were you living in NY at the time or did it carry down to Georgia? I read all his books too... still have "Wanda Hickey's Night of Golden Memories." A few years ago there was a fan web site that would mail you hundreds of his shows on MP3. The deal was that you would just copy them and send them back.
There is a Jean Shepherd site flicklives.com which has lots of info and 300+ shows available for listening.
I missed the "golden age of radio" by just a few years. I do remember as a very small child listening to something called (I think) "The Witches Tale." Scared the daylights out of me.
